Matt Lawrence ready for senior season at Mizzou

Missouri Tiger senior guard Matt Lawrence is busy working on a business degree, his defensive footwork, and his outside shot. All in a day’s work for the 6’7 kid from St. Louis.

Lawrence tends to be one of the silent leaders on the team behind DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons, but as one of four seniors on this young team, he can expect the five freshmen to look to him for guidance, especially guards Marcus Denmon, and Kim English.

I caught up with Lawrence at the Missouri Media Day held on Wednesday the 15th at Mizzou Arena. Matt talks about this upcoming season and tries to put last year’s disaster behind him.
